Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 26, 1907.

Application filed December 23, 1905. Serial No. 293,135.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JEAN BAPTISTE BoU- OHARD, residing at N orthGrosvenor Dale, county of Windham, in the State of Connecticertain newand useful Improvements in Pallet-Setting Implements; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to Which itappertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to pallet-setting implements.

The object of my invention is to provide an implement which will holdthe pallet in position and at the same time protectthe same from theflame of the lamp.

A further object is to provide means adapted to indicate when sufficientheat has been. used to soften the cement used in setting the bearing ofthe pallet; and my invention consists of the construction, combination,and arrangement of parts, as herein illustrated, described, and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this application, I haveillustrated one form of embodiment of my invention, in which drawingssimilar reference characters designate corresponding parts, and inwhich- Figure 1 is a plan view of the implement. Fig. 2 is a sideelevation of the implement. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical sectionment, all of the removable parts being removed; and Fig. 4 is atransverse vertical section through the anvil of the implement.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a handle provided with a stop 2.

Disposed in the handle 1 is a shank 3, formed integral with a body 4,which body is provided with an enlarged outer end 5, ad apted to serveas the anvil of the implement.

The body 4 is provided with a screwthreaded opening 6, adapted to hold ascrewthreaded standard 7, which is provided at its upper end with a slot8.

Disposed longitudinally of the shank and handle is a bent lever 9,provided with a hooked end 10, its central portion being disposed in theslot 8 and rockably maintained in position by means of the pivot 11. Thestop 2 is placed directly in the path of movement of the lever 9 and isadapted to limit the movement thereof.

The shank 4 is provided with a screwthreaded opening 12, adapted toreceive a set-screw 13.

Disposed on the set-screw 13 is a washer 14, and disposed on theset-screw between its head and the washer 14 is one end of a bent spring15, having its opposite end provided with a slot 16, and also formedwith recessed jaws 17, adapted to clamp a pallet or other part of awatch 18. The rear portion of the walls of the slot 16 is engaged by thehooked end 10 of the lever 9, so that pressure on the end of the lever 9adjacent the handle 1 is adapted to raise the spring 15 and release thepallet 18 or other part held by the recessed jaws 17.

The anvil 5 of the implement is provided with an opening 19, extendingtherethrough, which opening is adapted to receive one end of the arborof the pallet 18. The shank 4 is provided with a rectangular opening 20,through which is inserted a squared bar 21,

secured to the spring 15, as by the pin 22.

Disposed on the bar 21 is a helical spring 23, having one of its endsthrusting against the under surface of the shank 4 and havingitsopposite end thrusting against a thumbnut 24, which is in screw-threadedengagee ment with the free end of the squared bar. The object of thespring 23 is to maintain the spring 15 in depressed position, so as tofirmly hold the part being operated upon, and. the object of thethumb-nut 24 is to provide an adjustment of the pressure of the spring23 to suit different sizes of work.

The outer edge of the anvil 5 is provided with a recess 25, adapted tohold a small quantity of cement of the same kind as is generally usedfor setting the bearings in watches. The recess 26 on one side of theanvil 5 is adapted to receive the projecting part of certain classes ofwork.

In the operation of the invention, the part 18 being held beneath thespring 15, cement of the same character as that which holds the worktogether is deposited in the recess 25. The lower face of the anvil 5 isthen disposed over the flame of the lamp and held there until the cementin the recess 25 is softened. When this cement softens, the operatorWill know that the cement holding the part 18 will also be soft, whenthe necessary adjustment can be made.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

v 1. In a pallet-setting implement, a supporting-body, a spring membercarried on said body and forming therewith a clamp, means for adjustingthe tension of said spring member, and a lever pivotally mounted on thesupporting-body in engagement with said spring member, substantially asdescribed.

2. In a pallet-setting implement, a supporting-body, a spring membercarried on said body and forming therewith a clamp, means for adjustingthe tension of said spring member, an upright arm on said supportingmember, and a lever pivotally mounted on said upright arm and having ahooked end in engagement with said spring member, substantially asdescribed.

3. In a pallet-setting implement, a sup- 1 porting-body having anenlarged end and provided with openings, a spring member carried on saidbody and forming therewith a clamp, a squared bar disposed through oneof said openings and m engagement with said spring member, a coiledspring disposed on the bar, means to vary the tension oil said coiledspring, an upright arm disposed in another of said openings, and a leverpivot ally mounted. on said bar andv having a hooked end, in engagementwith said spring member, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twowitnesses.
